Simplified process to welcome new immigrants

Since the beginning of this year, in order to accelerate the introduction of talents, the Canadian government has gradually modernized the immigration system and further improved the quality of services.

01

Hire new employees to expedite processing applications

Immigration Canada has announced it will hire more than 1,250 new employees by late fall to expedite application processing and reduce the case backlog.

02

Immigration applications will be 100% digital

Beginning September 23, Canadian permanent residence applications will transition to 100% digital. Among them, the Quebec skilled worker category, remote and northern pilots will no longer accept paper applications from September 23.

03

Provide immigration tracker, application progress transparency

Immigration Canada provides an application status tracker for spouse and child reunion applicants. In spring 2023, USCIS will roll out the tracker to seven other permanent and temporary residency programs.

Provide benefits to keep "old immigrants"

According to the Toronto Star, Canada's federal government plans to allow undocumented workers (Undocumented Workers) to obtain Canadian permanent residence.

Hussen, executive director of the Canadian Migrant Workers Coalition for Change, said:

"The vast majority of undocumented residents have come to Canada legally but have since lost their status due to issues with student visas, temporary work visas or asylum applications."

Providing permanent residency status to undocumented residents would make it easier for them to access health care and other social services, while the move could also help address issues such as Canada's crippling job vacancies.

In addition, in order to reduce the waiting time for applicants, Immigration Minister Fraser plans to waive the medical examination requirements for some applicants in Canada.
